behaving lunatics
repressing     til the coming of rupture
                    when the clocks shall strike dumb

then we shall plumb freedom of expression

s t a t i c

populous city
summer heat gloating
these isolated nights poison
anxious residents
all strangers to their neighbours

squared away
bedded
they coil about their trusted genitalia
despising



c o w e r

wolf ,
          could you even go stalking in the woods ?
                 you'd get blisters
                            breaking in pricy footwear
          that smart suit ?
                             ridiculous ;     covering your fur
           you've become cowed by your domesticated soul
other brevity version - static

summer   city   night
cast    in orange static
dried spoil crunches underfoot
heavily housed buildings
beings
      anxious
of their unknown neighbours       
 
bedded   
they coil
  around their genitalia
        soundly
                and despise

People only change

when someone else forces them --


They can't change themselves.

Don't ask 'How are you?'

if you really want to know --


Behaviour tells you.

Now This Poem Is Steered...
Towards The Crazy Things...
That We See And Hear... !!!
  
From Women And Fellas...
Who Are Changing Their Genders...
  
To The Type Whose Agendas...
Prove That They're Pretenders...
When It Comes To... ***...
And Who They Like To Bed... !!!
  
I’ve Said It Before...
And I’ll Say It Again...
It Doesn't Seem Pure...
To Be Wanting Children...  
  
If SAME *** Movements...
Are What You Choose...
To Now DEFINE YOU... ?!?
  
Cos It’s Just CRAZY To Me... ?!?
To... TRULY BELIEVE...
That It’s A NATURAL Thing...
To... Claim To Want Kids...
  
If You Are A Man...
Who Likes To **** *****... ?!?
  
Or If You’re A Woman...
Who Loves LICKING *****... ?!?
  
Now To Me That’s... CRAZY... ?!?
  
But It’s What We Now See...
From Those In The Movies...
To Those We Now See...
On Our Flatscreen TV's  ... !!!
  
So These People CLEARLY...
Have ALWAYS Been Part of TV Teams...
That Work … BEHIND The Scenes... !!!
  
It Seems... LITERALLY... !!!
  
That’s Just A JOKE OKAY...
So Don’t Get Bent Out of Shape... !!!
  
Cos’ There Are CRAZY THINGS...
That Live In... DIFFERENT Skins... !!!
  
Like Men Who’ve Been Jailed...
Due To Charges of ****... !!!
Who Then MARRY The Chick...
Who ACCUSED THEM of It... !?!?!
  
Once They've Served Their Time...
For A SERIOUS Crime...
That They DIDN'T Commit... ?!?
  
And That’s A... REAL Thing...
Because I’ve Met A Man Who DID... !!!
  
Now Does That Seem Right... ?
Or Is That Just... CRAZY...

To MARRY... A Lady... ?!?
Who CHANGED Your Life...
Because of Telling LIES... ?!?
  
There Are TOO MANY Crimes...
To Now Write Within Rhymes... !!!
  
But Here Are … One Or Two...
That Prove That CRAZY MOVES...
Are Pulled By Youngsters Too... !!!
  
I’ve Recently Seen...
A Girl of... Nineteen...
  
Treat Her Own MOTHER... !?!
Like Some Kind of Lover...
Who'd Abused Her Trust...
So Then Figured She’d Shut...
And Then LOCK OUT Her Mom...
From Their Shared Apartment...
On Her Work Vacation In The Caribbean... ?!?
  
Because of... IGNORANCE... !!!
And Her Temper That Runs...
Within Her Like The ***...
That Bajans’ Drink For Fun... !!!
  
A Vision That STUNNED...
And Left Me Rather SHOCKED... !!!
  
To See That One SO YOUNG...
Could Act Like Who She Was...
Was GREATER Than The Lady...
Who Raised Her From A Baby... ?!?
  
To Me That’s JUST CRAZY... !?!
Because... To Put It PLAINLY...
  
If I’d EVER Shown...
... Such DISRESPECT... !!!
To One of My Parents...
Back In The Days...
When I Was Teenaged...
  
You’d NEVER of Read...
ANY Big Virge Poems... !!!!!!!!!
  
Because I’d Be DEAD... !!!
  
Due To The Punishment...
That Would of Knocked Some SENSE...  
... UPSIDE of My Head... !!!
  
Because Those Were The Days...
Where Disciplines REIGNED...
  
That Are Seen Today...
As... ABUSIVE Traits... !!!
Systems WON’T TOLERATE... !!!  
  
The Things That We See And Hear NOWADAYS...
Are Now FRYING BRAINS Cos’ They TRULY AMAZE... !!!
  
Like Hearing These CLAIMS...
That... Black Lives Matter... !!!
  
When It’s CLEAR That Some ARABS...
STILL SEE Blacks As... SLAVES... !!!
  
So Are QUICK To SHAME...
Any... Arab Babe...
Who Picks Some Dark Skin...
To... Truly Bind With...
  
Because They CLAIM...
  
That It Is FORBIDDEN...
Or The Word... “ HARAM “...
To Be Linking UP With...  
Any Man Whose Skin's DARK... !!!  
  
Because...
  
SLAVES Shouldn’t Be...
Part of Family Trees...
That Some Arabs See...
As Needing PURITY... !!!
  
Which Is TRULY CRAZY... ?!?
  
Cos’ When It Comes To DARK Breeds...
Their Philosophies Seem...
To Resemble... NAZIS... !?!
  
While Supremacist Teams...
See THEIR People As Weak... !!!
  
And EXTREMISTS They Deem...
To Be Those UNWORTHY...
of Seeing... UNITY...
  
When It Comes To White Crews...
of Supremacists... Who...
  
STILL HATE A DARK FACE...
Even In This NEW Age... ?!?
  
Where Black Lives Now MATTER...
Well... “ APPARENTLY “... ?!?
  
Which Is CLEARLY CRAZY... !?!
  
When You See How Police...
Treat Black People In Streets... !?!
  
So MANY FALLACIES...
That Are TRULY CRAZY... ?!?
Clearly Rule What We Deem...
To Be Our Human Breed...
  
Like The CLAIM That We're FREE...
To Air Our Views FREELY... !!!
  
UNLESS You Air Views...
That OFFEND Certain Groups...
Like The... LGBT... !!!
  
As Well As The Queers...
Who’ve Now Made It CLEAR...
That They Now EXPECT...
To Get Some RESPECT... !!!
  
For... WHO They Are... !!!
Or You’ll Face Being Charged...
With Crimes Now Designed...
To Keep Thinking IN LINE... !!!!!
  
With New Age Policies... !!!
  
Which We All Can Now See...
May Be Somewhat Off Key... !?!
  
When Opinions Can't Be...
Part of... SOCIETIES... ?!?
Or New Media Feeds... !?!
  
Which Is Why I Believe...
That A BACKLASH Is Coming......
Due To Things Being Steered...
Towards What's … Corruptive... !!!
  
That’s Stirring Up Things...
That May Well Prove To STING... !!!
  
Due To Falling Victim...
of Simply... OFFENDING... !?!
  
And The Things That We’ve Heard...
And Now Seen... APPEAR...
  
In....
  
“ The CRAZY Things That  
     We See And Hear ! “
We really do see some strange things in each other !

May be simply unfair
But I punish
MYSELF
With no mercy
For goodness's shake

With full reliance
I stay afar from some people
Because
I wish to meet them
In next timeframe
In next dimension
In next pathway
In next lifetime
From the START

It's like this
